Any guess to when this stuff was made?

Are there any numbers on the head stamp?

No, no numbers on the head stamp. just says 30 Army

IIRC winchester started using color on ammo boxes in 1936 or 1937 then stopped using color during WWII(remember "Lucky strike green has gone to war?) but I suspect that winchester didn't load a lot of .30-40 full patch for civilians, so the early mid thirties is a good bet.

Well, it a 30/40 Krag which was used with ole Teddy and the rough riders in Cuba. After the 30/06 came out it took over that U.S. 30 cal. description so those could be 1898-1906 circa.

I'm no expert but if I were betting I would guess that.
